Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Whilst replying to mail uses the profile of the account that the mail is located
in, forwarding messages does not.

This causes problems when using multiple mail profiles, as wrong return address
& sig are used.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create two mail profiles.
2. Send mail to both of them.
3. From secondary account (not default), forward message (Control + L)


Actual Results:  
1. The profile used to forward message is the default profile, and not the
profile for that account.  
2. Thus the wrong "from" address, and signature are used.  I assume other
settings in the profile are wrong too.

Expected Results:  
1. The profile that the message resides in should be used.
2. This is the behaviour when you reply.


SEVERITY:
1. I use the same computer for business & personal email, which have different
accounts and different sigs.  I have to remember to change the accounts whenever
forwarding from the non-default account

Actual windows milestone release 0.9.7:

In addition, if you save a message as draft, and re-open it, the from: address
is chaged to the address of the first profile.
